Chapter 558 A Fierce Fight

"You must be the very famous Princess Alyssa, right?" Lance said calmly, staring at Alyssa on the dragon-shaped spirit-manipulated beast. He knew not only her, but her reputation as well.

"Why, thank you for your appreciation, but I don't think I'm famous. I am nobody compared to you! You have already fought in the battlefield for dozens of years and made a lot of achievements!" Alyssa responded modestly with a faint smile, but her eyes were full of arrogance. She hid her sarcasm well, as if she had been doing it a lot. Obviously, she didn't take Lance seriously.

Lance, of course, was able to look beyond this. He certainly knew what she meant. She just wanted to satirize how he was not able to defeat a young and inexperienced person. Clearly, Alyssa thought he didn't have the qualifications to get that tittle. However, Lance kept his calm and responded, "I wonder why you are here waiting for me?"

"You are going back to the Evian City, right? I just wanted to see you off." Alyssa stared at Lance, her eyes glinting of hidden sarcasm.

"You are too polite. You don't have to send me off. I just hope you can let me pass here," Lance answered with a sneer. He knew that what Alyssa meant by her so-called farewell was to see him lead his way to his death.

"I'm not the one who owns and controls this path. You can leave if you want." Alyssa waved her hand, and the dragon-shaped spirit-manipulated beast moved a little.

"I'm afraid there is no way ahead!" Lance knew just what Alyssa was up to. Obviously, she wanted to stall them so that they couldn't rush back to the Evian City in time. If he couldn't guard the Evian City, and there was a lack of soldiers, the city wouldn't be able to resist attacks for a long time. Very soon, they would be defeated by the 30, 000 soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire.

"Actually, I don't want to fight you either. Please stay in the Deity Unicorn Valley for another two days. After our Timber Deity Empire's forces conquer the Evian City, I will let you go back to the city to clean up the mess..." Alyssa giggled. She wore an attractive smile, but the vicious expression in her eyes and her cold voice made people tremble with fear.

"If you want to keep me here, you should have enough strength to beat and stop me from leaving!" Lance couldn't stand it anymore. He was amped up, looking v

eally extraordinary. As it moved to attack, its raging power was formidable enough to make the master at the advanced grade of the Supernal Stage tremble with terror and turn pale.

Under the protection, those Commanders of the Crimson Dragon Army began to run for their lives.

"Stop chasing them," Alyssa said to the troops and the masters at the Heavenly Stage when she saw that the Crimson Dragon Army Commanders had gone far away. In fact, her plan was just as Lance expected. She just wanted to stall Lance, and prevent him from returning in time. Without Lance in the Evian City, it would be easy for the Timber Deity Empire's forces to attack and destroy the city.

Of course, Alyssa was sure of that. Besides, she knew another reason why the Evian City would be easily conquered: she had received the information that Rocky, who had ruined her several plans, was relegated to the logistics camp because he had been unjustly wronged by Lance. Considering this, she thought that Rocky was no longer a threat.

Without Lance and Rocky, the Crimson Dragon Army was a sitting duck, waiting to be slaughtered by her.

After witnessing that the Commanders had successfully escaped, Lance asked the Roaring-thunder Dragon to spread its wings and soar into the air.

Alyssa saw Lance's move and she immediately rode on her spirit-manipulated beast and charged towards him.

Without a sign of fear and hesitation, Lance ordered the Roaring-thunder Dragon to rush towards Alyssa. This was the start of a fierce fight between the two masters at the Divine Stage.
